Bhe made for the tiny tyeacon which marks the Inner harbor channel again this morning, gnd with a tossing sea and strong coining tide trirnl to answer signals. Finally It was learned that the lighthouse had r.o fresh water, for the heaty seas had broken in the bulkheads and; spoiled the water stored there. There wtire live men in the lighthouse. The two boats which usually hang from the davits had been splintered by the force of the wstves and the ■ea. was dashing over the lighthouse with such force that there was lititle hope of reaching there. TWO STEAMERS ASHORE.

Beyond Deer island lies the big Wilson liner Ohio and the steamer C. A.. White, of Taunton, aehot® on Spectacle island. It Is a matter of surprise to harbor’ pilots how the Ohio reached her present berth. She stands up boldly without the semblance of a list, on a hard gravel bottom, in water which at a flood tide this morning hardly came to tho level of the propeller shaft. She Is firmly aground, and her predicament Is a very serious one. That she should be In such shallow water is due to the fact that the tide in which she went ashore was fourteen feet above the usual flood tide. With her powerful screw churning the mud and several tugs straining at hawsers over her stern at flood tide to-day there was no tremor of the vessel towards the open water. According to some of the ■wrecking masters the only way, to save the liner ia by dredging a channel from the Ohio to deep water, but even this must be done quickly, as another guio would do Incalculable damage. The White iMdently lies on rocks, and while she could be pulled Into deep water her heavy {cargo was scarcely able to keep her afloat.,’ Leaving Spectacle island asteVn, a sorry sight is that presented by the three-masted •chooner Calvin F. Baker, on the rocks midway between Bostofi light and the Brewsters. Here the deep sea; rolls and half Iniries the craft, which is; fast going to pieces. Tiie mainmast has been whipped oft and hangs over thp side supported by tho top hamper of ; . the other mists. From this wreck the two mates were taken off by Captain James and crew from across the bay at Hull. It was daybreak when tho Baker was seen, and die lifeboat was sent out on its mission. The pull was a long one, and finally, when the wreck was reached three bodies were Been lashed aloft. Two of them were secured, and life was found In them, but the other had been frozen stiff to his lashings. Thw survivors and the body were taken to Hulf. TOO FIERCE FOR LIFE SAVERS. •it was -opr tho little stretch of beach at Hull, just behind the Hotel Pemberton, that the tragedies occurred. The old sialts of Hull •ay that in fierceness the storm equaled that of 1852, except that while tho Mea did not run so high the wind was stronger. In the fury of the storm yesterday two big newly built barges of the Consolidated Coal Company, Nos. 1 and 4, were dashed, to bits almost in an instant. On tho shores stood ■cores of men who w'ere ready t$ risk their Jives to suve those who were on many of the vessels in the offing, driving to destruction. Captain James, of the life-saving crew, was there with his men and boat, but he said that tho wind blew so fiercely that not men enough could And room in the bout to row against the wind. Out of the driven snow came the dim outlines of a barge, with the forms of live men discernible on the deckhouse. With a mighty crash as it came down on a receding wave, barge No. 1 struck the’ shore, only to crumble aiiJ then nieit into fragments, which the waves in another minute east lipon the shore. But in that instant five men escaped the impending death, lor, as the barge spilt in twain, the deckhouse slid off toward the ■bore into the surf, and at the {same time men on shore with lines about them rushed into the water and pulled out the sailors. A moment later barge No. 4 came ashore and was ground up by the waves. Two of the crew, including Captain Albee, were Saved and two drowned. Soon after this other wreckage came ashore, and this morning It was seen Uliat both the Abel C. Babcock and the Samuel W. Tilden had been wrecked. No sign of the crew of either vessel was found. Another terribly scene was that at Thompson's island, where the city's Reform School Is situated. Against the wharf were driven lour down-east vessels, eacn of which, at the time the storm broke, was anchored miles away, and leach a long way from the others. .\n idea of the force of the wind Is shown in this instance, for, after drifting across the bay, ,one after another brought tip against the pier, one being driven entirely out of the water. The erdft are the Virginia, of which barely a vestige is left, the Watchman, the Seraphlne and the Fred 11. Emerson. The last three are in one great heap of timber and rigging, mixed with debris from the Virginia. Two lives were lost from the latter craft!. William B. Stanley. the captain';* son, was washed ashore ana resuscitated. Os the other wrecks, the most singular is that of the tug Tamaqua, or. Rainsford’w island. She has gone straight on against a promontory of rocks, and there ■ corns little chance of her getting off. Her consort, a Reading barge, was easily floated this afternoon, i Other evidences of the storm are to be found or. every headland and in nearly every cove, for numberless and nameless wrecks, all snow and sleet-covered, are piled up there. It will be some time before all the vessels widen fared ill on Sunday can Ik* accounted for, and some, perhaps, never will be, so. thoroughly have the wind end wave done their work. HI IX AT VINEYARD IIAVKN. Large Fleet of Venae!* Driven Ashore and .Several Lives Lost. VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass.. Nov. 28.Sunday was the most eventful day that Vineyard Haven has known for forty years. From early morning until lute at night the water was strewn with wreckage and vessels were constantly driven ashore, manv of them to be dashed to lrteces. A large fleet of c<lasting schooners from St. John and other porta In the provinces and Maine were battered to fragments. Most of the vessels drivon ashore ware obliged to part their cables awing to the great danger from collision with other .vessels'which had broken ■drift. The driving snowstorm prevented the life savers from keeping a gn.nl lookout for distress signals, or tho fleit of two ■core of vessels that came to anchor before the storm hardly one escaped damage. It Is believed that Captain Nelson, of the t schooner Island City, of Rockland, Me., and entire crew have perished. The schooner ■l<eoru M. Thurlow. of Bath, Me.. Captain ■Roberts, bound from Hailowell, Me., with cargo of paving stone, was sunk near the side of the harbor here yesterday afternoon. The crew climbed into the rigging. A volunteer crew of skilled boatmen proceeded to the rescue, towed by the tug Lockhart. They succeeded with difficulty in saving the mate and two seamen, but Cautuip Roberta bad perished from exposure before succor Came. The beaches in this vicinity are covered with debris. It la feared that ut least half a dozen lives have been lost in this section. Tho volunteer llfetsaving crew from this port saved fifteen Jives. Last night nearly fifty sailors who had come ashore Com their abandoned craft were cared for r the villagers. - Dimeters Further South.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—A careful estimate of losses to shipping and vessel owners on the great lakes for the record-breaking year of 1898 pieces the probable figures at $2,500,000. This may be incresiaed before the close of navigation, but even without more storms or foundered vessels it will hold first place for losses in the history of lake navigation. The year 1895 had hitherto held the record, with a total loss of $2,097,000. It still stands as the closest rival with the memorable season just concluding. The three big storma October and November, 1898, have made this an extraordinary year, added to the individual wrecks that occurred during the season that lias concluded the total by an amount estimated to be approximately $950,0w). Lake Superior has had a big share of the wreckings, with the straits and narrow passages of the north to increase their totals. Three steamers, the Orr. Tampa and Chisham, went down, with a loss of $375,000. The storm of Oct. 25 took about $300,000 in property values and its two sister gales in November each destroyed nearly the bame amount. Thousands of Sheep in Peril. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 28.— I Thousands of sheep are imprisoned in the mountains near Pendleton, Ore. Three feet of snow has fallen in the foothills there, and the sheep cannot get through it to the valleys below. This situation results from the fact thatthe sheepmen have kept their sheep on the mountain ranges as long as possible on account of the dryness and lack of grass outside. Unless ehinook winds blow and melt the snow sheepmen will not be able to bring their sheep out without heavy loss. , Another Biiz/.ard, ST. PAUL. Minn., Nov. 28.—A light snow storm has been in progress in this vicinity to-day, but reports from the Dakotas indicate the heaviest snow of the season for parts of those States. At Fargo, in tho north State, the indications this afternoon were for a blizzard before morning, und Watertown, S. D., reports a snowstorm of increasing severity. The Dakotas escaped the heavy storm of last week, and this is their first hard experience of the season. SICK MEN FROM PONCE. Name* of Soldier* lamded at Old Point Comfort from the Reties.

SPAIN ACCEPTS. (Concluded from First PasccA commissioners do not possess the necessary documents and information.” * GLOOM AT MADRID. Editor* of Newspaper* Sorrowing Over Their Country’* Fate. MADRID, Nov. 2S.—Tho city this evening is calm. There have been no disturbances resulting from the announcement of Spain’s acceptance of the terms of thei Americans. The papers, however, publish gloomy articles, sadly reminding the country that the day is one long to be> renumbered as marking “tine closing scene of a glorious colonial history." All agree that tho government has adopted the only possible policy, though much bitterness is displayed toward tho United States. It is said that Don Jaime, son of Don Carlos, the pretender, is now at Saint Jean de Luz, in Basses-Pyrnes, France. Spain Protest* to Italy. LONDON, Nov. 29.—The Rome correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "The Spanish ambassador has protested to the Italian government that the residence of Don Carlos in Venice has become a nest of revolutionary machinations against Spain. He has also protested against the sale of 20,000 rifles from the government arsenal at Bresnia to Don Carlo,'.. This charge, however, is not exact. The rifles were sold as old iron to a speculator, who resold them to Don Carlos. As they have not been paid for yet, the rumors that tho pretender is flush with cash are probably not well founded.” The Mnifowun* to Re Extradited. ERIE.

EXPLOSION AT HAVANA THIRTY-EIGHT PERSONS, MOSTLY BOYS AND GIRLS, MANGLED. ♦- Victim* Were Euiptylng Cartridges— Powder Unlawfully Stored in the City—Caused by a Cigarette. ♦ HAVANA, Nov. 28.—There was a serious explosion this morning on the Avenue Infanta between the Santa Clara and Reina batteries. Many boxes of powder were stored in a private house, which also contained five rooms full of Mauser and other cartridges. The careless handling of one of th® boxes of powder or of one of the boxes of cartridges caused the explosion, which killed or more or less seriously injured thir-ty-eight persons. The presence of such a large quantity of cartridges—known to have been brought recently from the artillery depot—in and out of the warehouse where they were stored roof high—was against the law. Most of those employed in emptying the cartridges —evidently the only duty on the premises, were boys and birls under seventeen years of age and they formed the greatest proportion of the victims. The employment of children in such a dangerous occupation and the existence of such u large quantity of explosives within the city limits are both in contravention of the municipal regulations. Nobody was killed outright by the explosion, but three of the injured died this afternoon and the condition of most of the others is more or less critical. At least fifteen are not expected to live. It was marvelous that tho immediate loss of life was not great. It was learned to-night that a man known as Jeronimo Smith nas acquired several thousands of cartridges, many of an old pattern, at the various military depots here for a mere song, and was arranging to turn his investment to account by removing the gunpowder from each projectile, with a view to later sale at a proiit. To this end he hired about fifty boys and girls, with a few men and women, to do the work. Up to the hour of filing this dispatch no arrests have been made, although orders have been given for the removal of similar contents of other houses in different parts of the city, which implies an official knowledge of the existence of such deposits in dennite localities. The explosion took place shortly after 8 o’clock this morning in a frame building. At the moment more than forty men were at work emptying cartridges. Several tons of gunpowder already lay in the main rooms of the house, while other rooms were literully packed with more than (JOO.COO cartridges. There are two versions as to the origin of the casualty. According to one a lighted cigarette stump was tossed by a careless workman on a pile of powder; according to the other, a child, while extracting a charge, used a hammer on the butt end of a cartridge, which burst, causing the greater explosion. Whatever.the origin, the explosion was awful in its effects, wrecking the building and mangling and burning the workers. In some cases clothing was set on lire; in others the flesh was frightfully torn. Mothers shrieked for their children and children for their mothers. It was a scene of wildest horror. Although there had been only a partial explosion of the contents of tlie building, tne fear that the entire stock, .a great quantity of powder, would explode added to the panic. Fortunately, there was no second explosion. With tolerable promptness the ambulances and surgeons of the Reina Mercedes and San Lazare Hospitals arrived upon the scene. The work of rendering first aid to the injured was greatly hampered by the want of bandages and stimulants, messengers having to be dispatched to a considerable distance for these requisites. Finally the injured were removed and distributed among the various hospitals, the Reina Mercedes Hospital taking a majority. The house surgeons regard the condition of most of them as extremely critical. Captain Peral this morning returned the usual official visit of the officers of the United States cruiser Topeka. He was received by the second officer in command, as Commander Cowles was not well. Immediately after the arrival here of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII she will leave for the Island of Martinique, accompanied by the Spanish cruisers Infanta Isabel and Condon dt Venadito. diaries W. Gouid, the special representative of the Department of Justice on the Cuban evacuation commission, to whom the steamer Bratten and other steamers which will follow with relief supplies are personally consigned, left here this morning for Cienfuegos by rail for the purpose of meeting the Bratten, which sailed for that port yesterday. He goes to Cienfuegos to attend to the distribution of the supplies in that district. Before leaving here the Bratten landed a quantity of supplies for the Cubans at Murianao. Mr. Gould’s colleagues, Messrs. Conant and Garrison, the legal advisers of the evacuation commission, will return to the United States on Wedh:sday by way of Tnmpa. Mr. Gould will remain in Cuba in charge of the work of distributing relief to the Cubans. The Cuban general Jose Lacret arrived here yesterday. Gen. Mayi Rodriguez will assume command of Cuban forces in the Department of the West. Colonel Young, commanding the battalion of engineers which recently arrived litre, held a conference yesterday afternoon with the Spanish military commander at Marianao for the purpose of agreeing on a plan to avoid tiie possibility of misunderstandings between the AmericaiA and Spanish soidiers, both of which bodies are doing sentry duty at Quemadas. The meeting was most cordial and tiie necessary precautionary measures to prevent any unpleasantness were decided on. General Menocnl, commanding the Cuban forces at Marianao, will probably move his camp to-day or to-morrow from Playa, fixing ids headquarters at a point several miles farther westward. This action is due to tho arrival of American troops whose landing place is PJaya. The colonial Cabinet on Saturday formally resigned to Gen. Jiminez Castellanos, the new governor and captain general of Cuba, their respective portfolios. General Castellanos, however, officially reappointed them and requested them to remain in office until the Spanish flag had been lowered in Cuba, lending to the Queen Regent and to him their co-operation and the use of their valuable experience. The ministers agreed to retain their portfolios and will continue in office to tiie last moment of Spain’s sovereignty over Cuba. Marshal Blanco continues to reside at the palace. A squad of cavalry has been stationed in front of the palace to act as the escort of General Cast* llanos when ho visits the forts. Throughout tho afternoon large crowds gathered in front of the palace, believing that Marshal Blanco was about to embark for Spain. Yesterday afternoon two Cuban soldiers entered the farm of Antonio Trujillo, a Spaniard, at Guanabaeoa. a suburb of Havana. Setter Trujillo remonstrated with them for treepassing, and threatened them with his gun, as he was just returning from a hunting trip. At this the Cubans drew their carbines and shot him dead on the spot. They claim that they fired in selfdefense. * Cl DANS SEEKING A LOAN. General Mnso Explain* the Object of the CommiNMioit’* Yi*it. KINGSTON, Jamaica, Nov. 28.—General Maso, the former President of the Cuban insurgents’ government, arrived here yesterday on a visit to his family. The members of the Cuban colony have tendered him a public reception. In an interview he confirmed the report that one of the chief objects of the mission of General Garcia and Messrs. Capote, Sanguilly and Lanuza to Washington is to endeavor to secure a grant or a loan of money sufficient to pay off the insurgent army, which is about to be disbanded. He added that the provisional government is bankrupt, and that unless the Cuban army is provided for satisfactorily grave and regretable complications may arise. The Cubans, General Maso said, entertain profound admiration and gratitude for the Americans, but, nevertheless. they will oppose annexation or a protectorate. They are confidently expecting the United States to speedily recognize their ability to manage their own affairs, on which basis only, General Maso concluded, is permanent peace possible. Gome* Probably Xot Dead. NEW YORK, Nov*. 28.—The members of the Cuban commission, who are in this city, have received no report of the death of Gen. Maximo Gomez. Gen. Jose Gomes, one of the commissioners, who is aiso a brigadier general in the Cuban army, said that he did not believe that Gomez was dead, as the commission would be the first to be advised in that event. Tiie commission expected to leave for Washington to-day, but owing to the illness of General Garcia, who is at his home with a slight fever, the trip was postponed until to-morrow. Death* In P*rto Rico. WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S—General Brooke reporta to the Way Department the follow-

ing deaths In Port Rico; Nov, 24. Private William M. Miles. Sixth Volunteers, typhoid; Nov. 26, Private Herbert D. Evans, Company K, Nineteenth, and Charles Roach, I, Eleventh Infantry, both typhoid. Plnar Del Rio Evacuated. HAVANA. Nov. 28.—At noon to-day Gen. Hernandez Velasco, with 2,000 Spanish troops, evacuated the city and province of Plnar del Rio. They left the city with bands playing and banners flying. General Velasco made formal delivery to the mayor. Half an hour afterward a Cuban lieutenant colonel entered with 250 men. General Velascos forces arrived here on two trains about 6 o’clock this evening. THE QUAYS ON TRIAL Demurrer* to Four Indictment*, ard Court Asked to Qua*h the Fifth. PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Nov. 28.—The case of Senator Quay and others, charged with conspiracy in the misuse of the money of the State on deposit in the People's Bank, came up to-day in the Court of Quarter Sessions, Judge Finletter presiding. The defendants were not in court, their interests being looked after by Attorneys Rufus E. Shapley and A. 3. L. Shields. Immediately on the opening of court Attorney Shapley filed demurrers to four of the five Indictments found against the defendants by the grand jury, and also filed a motion to quash the fifth indictment. Argument on these demurrers was proceeded with by Mr. Shapley. In a general way the objections to the Indictments were based on contentions of insufficient specifications, complete failure to charge any unlawful act, and an absence of allegation that the defendants unlawfully obtained any money either from the bank or from any other source. If the defendants, as the indictments charge, purchased bonds and stocks through Cashier Hopkins, as agent, Mr. Shapley claimed that no unlawful act had been committed. He claimed that banks every day acted as purchasers for their depositors or customers. Regarding the allegations respecting the use of State moneys, he argued that all moneys deposited in a bank go into the general fund of the bank, and that therefore the indictments are defective in charging misuse of State funds obtained from the People's Bank; whereas, if any money was obtained from the bank, it was funds of the People's Bank, and not State funds. Furthermore, these State funds were deposited in the banks by various State treasurers in full authority of law. On conclusion of the arguments of Messrs. Shapley and Shields, and the reply of District Attorney Graham, tiie court took the papers under advisement. Ho did not intimate when he would announce his decision on the motions presented. ALL FOR LOVE. Student Alleged to Have Killed Hla Father to Secure Money to Wed. TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 28.—The trial of John Henry Collins for the murder of his father, J. B. Collins, was commenced in the District Court to-day. The triai piomises to be one of the most sensational ever held in this city. J. S. Collins, a prominent citizen and real-estate dealer, was shot twice while alaeep in his own nome May 13 at 5 o’clock in the morning. The shooting was done with Mr. Collins’s own gun, which was secured from a closet adjoining his bedroom. John H. Collins, son of the murdered man, was attending the Kansas University at the time of the murder and was deeply in love with a young lady of Lawrence, Kan. To secure his share of the insurance on his father’s life, some SB.(XX) or $7,000, to enable him to prosecute his suit with this young lady, is said to be the motive for the crime.

THREE KILLED BY ONE. Farmer and Two Son* Slain and Another Mun Wounded in .Missouri. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Nov. 28.—The citizens of Ozark were greatly excited this afternoon on the statement of a farmer from the southern part of Christian county that Steve Bilyue and his two sons were killed and Talior, Steve BiXyue's son-in-law, wounded by Burd Meadows to-day. A short time after the arrival of the farmer Tabor iode into Ozark and went to a doctor’s office, where he had the bullet cut from his leg. The trouble arose over an attempt of Burd Meadows to move a fence running between his farm and that of Bilyue's. The latter remonstrated, and a light in which firearms were used ensued. OBITUARY.

True, director of the office of experiment stations, in his annual report to the secretary of agriculture, says that the agricultural experiment stations are, as a rule, working more thoroughly und efficiently for the benefit of American agriculture than ever before. The appropriation of $7-0.000 by Congress for the support of the stations was supplemented by over $400,000 state funds. While the number and importance of institutions organized for scientific researches in behalf of agriculture are constantly increasing in all parts of the world, nowhere has so comprehensive and efficient a system of experiment stations boon established as in the United States. He urges the tmployment of trained experts and original researches by them as essential to development of still greater efficiency. I’nri* Exposition Boomer*.

JAPANESE SPIES SHOT SBVEX OFFICERS EXECUTED BY RUSSIANS AT PORT ARTHUR. - Butch of Interesting Xeivs from the Fur East—Scrioun Crisis in Corea —Trouble in China. VICTORIA, British Columbia, Nov. 28. The steamer Glenogie has arrived here after a tempestuous passage, bringing an interesting budget of news from the restless East. From Tien-Tsln comes news which shows that Japan has decided to resist Russian aggression. She is preparing to drive the Czar’s troops from Corea and to this end large detachments of troops are being landed in the hermit kingdom. News is also at hand from Tien-Tsin that a large number of Japanese spies have been captured by the Russians at Port Arthur and shot. Seven Japanese, ail officers of the imperial Japanese army, were taken, and on their persons were found drawings of the principal fortifications. But a day elapsed after their capture before they were marched out before a firing party ol Russians and summarily shot. The rebels in Chung-King, according to advices by the Glenogle, are increasing in power daily. The TungaLiang & HowChow Railway is completely under their control. They have compelled well-to-do people to provide them with money and provisions and are making weapons day and night. Merchants in Chung-Iving have wired to Shanghai and other coast ports, stopping the shipment of goods. The rebels are daily committing atrocities of every sort and kind. One of their leaders, ill, went to the governor of Lung-Shui-Chin and demanded a large sum of money, was refused, and the rebels, two thousand strong, plundered the town, killing hundreds. Two days afterwards they went to TungLiang and demolished all the houses of the Christians, massacring those who tried to escape with shocking brutality. They then doelared that they nad gone to that city especially to oppose foreigners and Christians. Others, they said, were not to be molested unless they offered resistance. Two French priests and a missionary of the C. M. S. had gone to the magistrates’ yamen for shelter, and late in the afternoon the rebels went to the magistrates and asked that they be delivered up. The magistrates refused, but they afterwards relented and allowed the rebels to enter the yamen to take the missionaries. The Methodist drew a revolver and resisted and he was at once killed. The two French priests were bound and carried away as prisoners. The rebels then retired to Wang-Choa-Tung. They are, it is said, seizing and murdering Christians almost daily. According to the reports from Chemulpo matters have reached a grave crisis in Corea. The Emperor is being worried to death with petitions by the independence Club, who are forcing his hand to dismiss some of the higher ministers, when the whole phalanx of the Independence Club will invade the palace and take charge of the government's affairs.

The execution of the unfortunates accused cf the attempt to poison the Emperor was a ghastly affair. The doomed were taken from the scaffold on which they were to have been executed by a tnob. Then began one of the most grewsome exhibitions of savagery and bloodthirstiness ever' seen in any land. The condemned men were actually torn to pieces by the mob, and even when life was extinct the most devilish indignities imaginable were heaped on the mangled and bleeding remains. Considerable excitement prevails hi Peking among the Manchu faction over the action of the Empress dowager in bestowing on Tsai Chi, Prince of Tuan, and Prince Tasi Lien, a sword called the Shang Fan sword, which curries with it the right to behead any person, regardless of rank or dignity, without first asking permission from the throne. This is to guard against sudden signs of treachery. Although the Shang Fan sword has been an institution of the country ever since the earliest Chinese history, it lias only been bestowed once before during the present dynasty, and then to the Mongol General Si Shang. who was appoined by the late Emperor listen Feng specialissinio of the imperial forces acting against the Tuiping rebels. The Japan Times, speaking of the critical state of affairs at Peking, says: “The real fear in the heart of the Empress is that the Manchu dynasty will go the way of previous dynasties, so she clings to Russia as her strong support.” The Japanese government has ordered another new' battle ship, which is to be constructed by Messrs. Vickers’s Sons & Maxim, of the. naval construction works, Barrow-in-Furness, at a cost of £930,900. It will exceed anything yet built in size and offensive and defensive qualities, it will be over I*>,ooo tons displacement. Disquieting rumors come from Hinoura, Shirikisha, Uehimura, Oshima, where people are subsisting on bamboo and other roots owing to the scarcity of lice and the sardine fisheries, which heretofore have furnished lucrative occupation, but have proven a failure this season. They are on the eve of an outbreak, and most stringent measures have been taken bv the govemnient to prevent an uprising. Steps have been taken to ship the necessary supplies until such time as they can resume their usual vocations. The Chinese government has issued a special gazette prohibiting exportation of Japanese yen into tine Pahang district. The cause assigned for such action is that the Pahang province is bitter against the Japanese government and will not recognize the coin of the realm. Among the Glenogle’s passengers was Captain Frederick Keye, Company B. First North Dakota Volunteers, who left ManilaOct. 26 on a leave of absence. SPENT HIS I.IKE IN SEWERS, Yet John Grubb Never Knew One Huy’s Siekness. Birmingham (Eng.) Letter. The municipal authorities have resolved to pension a man who has spent nearly half a century in building and exploring the sewers of Birmingham. His life contradicts the proverbial unhealthiness of sewer gas and lack of sunlight. The name of this important official is John Grubb, and he has traversed from six to seven miles of sewers each dav. and he computes that his total tramp during the fifty years of his labors has exceeded 100,00) miles. Grubb boasts that he has not known a day of siekness throughout his subterranean career, though during the first decade of his office there was hardly a single well-constructed sewer In the city, and he was daily in danger of being attacked by armies of rats and was compelled to inhale the foulest odors. During the last half of his career he has constructed fourteen miles of sewers on the most approved modern style. He has survived all of his employes, some of them not being able to stand the work more than a few years. Grubb is now a septuagenarian, and his vigorous health augurs that he will live twenty years more. The sewer veteran says his retirement may prove detrimental to Ills health. The greatest peril he has been exposed to occurred some twenty years ago on the occasion of the Queen’s visit to Birmingham. He was overtaken by storm water. A terrific rainstorm had broken over tiie city, and the water was rushing into the sewers in torrents. It was a thrilling race for life, as he and his workmen had to fight big regiments of rats with their shovels, scaring them by howls and yells, as they made their way, submerged to their shoulders, to a distant manhole, which they knew could be opened.

A. J. DEMULES SLAIN. “Turquoise King of the Jarlllu” Murdered by a Mexican. EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 28.— A. J. Demules, better known as the “Turquoise King of the Jarillas,”. was murdered at his celebrated turquoise mine fifty miles north of El Paso, in New Mexico, at an early hour this morning by a Mexican with whom he had quarreled about a trivial matter. Demules was shot in the body with a six shooter while eating breakfast and instantly killed. After the killing the murderer attempted to escape, but was pursued and captured by several American employes. After his capture a determined effort w-as made to lynch the prisoner by the large force of mine employes, but the Americans who had him in custody and several railroad men stood guard with Winchesters and prevented mob violence. Denudes was born in New York. He was until recently a poor prospector, but three years ago obtained sufficient money to develop his Jarilla mountain turquoise mines. The mines proved to be of great value and Demules became suddenly wealthy and was given the sobriquet of “The Turquoise King of the Jarillas.” THE GAS SHORTAGE The Present Situation with Consumers in West Indianapolis. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I w T ould like to express my views to the extent of my personal knowledge In reference to the gas question. To begin with, I see quoted from Mr. Pray, on the 23d tnst., an intimation that gas will be, in his opinion, as -plentiful this winter as usual. Thi3 I do not question, but the drift of his meaning is misleading the public, so I warn all consumers west of the river to prepare for coal or wood. That same "old gas song” has been handed down from year to year. As mild as it was on Wednesday the gas inspectors were out in full force to see who had their mixers off. They were at ray house, but the situation was not inviting. They found the mixer off in the cooking stove, with barely sufficient gas to Ignite the wood. Passing to the grate, they found no blaze, with the valve wide open and no gas escaping; In fact, the gas company knew by the registers that we had scarcely any gas before sending the inspectors out. I believe the stampede of inspectors upon that day was prearranged to find as many mixers off as possible, to make as good a showing as possible for the purpose of working the meter system upon the incoming Legislature; at least they are about due for another move in that direction. Mr. Pray is also quoted as saying that “on last Tuesday everybody lighted their stoves, with a good supply of gas,” which statement I emphatically contradict for the consumers west of the river. The false statements the gas company has been giving the consumers have been misleading for years. When interviewed about ti e limited supply of gas they never fail to *ive some glowing account of forty or fifty new wells and pipe lines, in addition to a heavy outlay of money for pumping wind, as well as gas, for which we will get a good supply of the former, if they get the meter system through the Legislature, which, if passed, will be tao greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon the city. As one of a committee appointed to call upon the president of the gas company, John R. Pearson, a few years ago, in the interest of the gas consumers west of the river, 1 found him overzealous to make our call as pleasant as possible, but I quickly realized that he would give us but little satisfaction. However, he gave a glowing account of an abundance of gas in store for us. 110 pointed out a diagram of everything he had under contemplation, giving me the pressure of gas that he had at the head of supplies, and he said they efxpected to almost double that force. He proposed doing this by putting in a force pump. But I said, "Mr. Pearson, your logic will not work, unless you utilize air to almost double the pressure which you propose to give.” When I left him his answer was incomplete, and his windmills have proven a complete failure; in faet, the windmills were not intended to be used under the present system cf furnishing gas. It was a bold stroke to be ready for the mete” system; then you will have almost as much wind metered out to you through your register as gas. This will prove a costly luxury. Also, if memory serves me right, the press of the city asked what the probable cost would be to each consumer for a meter. The answer was given by some member of the gas company, anywhere from S2O to $27, and the meter to bo put in at the consumer’s expense. I immediately wrote to the Pittsburg City Council to learn what consumers had to pay for the meters. The reply was that they cost $5, and they were put in at the expense of the gas company. Our City Council was apprised of the fact at the time. Now, wouldn't the city officials be a set of dupes to let that corporation bleed them for nearly $150,000? I think I have rightly approximated the injustice done the West-side consumers when I say we have in the last ten years paid into the tresisury of the gas company fully 575.0C0 or SIOO,OOO more than we have received, which proceeds went into the building of the Majestic, and I, for one, am in favor of entering suit for the above amount. W. P. REID. West Indianapolis, Nov. 28.

Leaeh Say* He Was Misrepresented. To the Editor of ttie Indianaiwlis Journal: The special telegram from this city regarding the supply of natural gas, etc., In the Journal to-day, attributes to me statements that I did not make. I have been in the field during the last two weeks, testing wells, and have had but little opportunity to know anything about the gas service “during the recent cold spell.” The statement regarding the cause of the shortage of gas at Crawfordsville and Lebanon was not made by me.

T days do not have —i N to use a stream of water for a looking-glass. They have modern mirrors that will tell them very promptly whether their beauty is fading. A woman's beauty fades very rapidly if she is troubled w : ith some derangement of the distinctly feminine organism. Ignorance or carelessness in this respect frequently causes great suffering and irregularity in after life. Littlq irregularities and weaknesses in girlhood should be looked upon promptly and properly treated at once. Mothers cannot be too conscientious in this respect, and caunot throw aside the prudery that is so prevalent upon this point too soon. Every young woman should know something about her own physical make-up, and the importance to her future of her local as well as general health. A woman who suffers from weaknesses peculiar to her sex will rapidly lose her beauty, her general health, her amiability and her usefulness and capability as a wife and housekeeper. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription promotes regularity of all feminine functions, gives sturdy health to the distinctly feminine organism and prepares it to meet the trials of wifehood and motherhood. The “Favorite Prescription” is not a cure-all. It is intended for but one class of disorders and is good for no other. Taken during the period of gestation, it makes parturition easy, and banishes the discomforts of the expectant months. All good medicine dealers sell it. “ I wish to express my thanks for the good I have received from Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription." writes Mrs. E. Scovill, of Bolton, Stephenson Cos., Ills. "I have used it at different times for the last eight years. It is the best medicine for expectant mothers. I never tried it for that until my last baby. I had been verv bad, almost helpless. I could not get out of bed alone, or even turn over. Last December I commenced taking the * Favorite Prescription,’ and could soon get tu and out of bed as well as at any time. On March 29th 1 gave birth to an eleven pound boy without pain, and have since beeu as well aud healthy as I ever was.” NATIONAL §ff\ ' "^ U^e or * <S m A m WroughMron Pipe for Gas, Steam and Water, mJ ■'*‘ - Boiler Tubes, Cast and Ihf Malleable Iron Kitting* Wt'iitiw', 1 j W'-SS.

THREE RECKLESS REGULARS. Sixth Infantry Men Land TTiemielvc* lu l’olice Station. Three reckless United States regular army privates landed in this city last evening at 6 o’clock, and five hours later two of them were locked up at the police station. When their train pulled into the Union Station they climbed off and walked north on Illinois street. They were all very drunk. They turned into the Grand Hotel and one of them handed the cashier a note which said, “Please give the bearer 50 cents,” and was signed “Love.” The flimsy attempt to procure money was ridiculous, but the soldiers were about ready to fight when they were refused the money. Bicycle Patrolmen Schroeder and Hauser were called, but the soldiers had gone before they arrived. About 10:30 o’clock the same three soldiers went into Slavin's restaurant, on Jackson place, ate a comfortable meal and two of them filed past the cashier without even deigning to notice him. One of the soldiers protested that the other two should pay their bills, but It was to no effect. The bicycle patrolmen were again called and this time they caught two of the soldiers on Illinois street. The one who had believed in tins policy of paying for what he got had left his two comrades. The two men were slated ut the police station for being drunk. Their names were John Sullivan and Frank Hazard and they belong to the Sixth Infantry. About midnight the third soldier of the party strolled into Captain Dawson’s office and In a pleasant voice asked If he could “get his pals out." He had taken on more liquor before he went to the police station and he was very happily drunk. He said that he and his two comrades were bound for Texas to Join their regiment and had been left behind. He had an Eastern accent in his voice and was rather good looking, but his face was heavy from dissipation and his hair hung down into his eyts. He did not care much when he was told that he could not get his comrades out. He thrust his hand in his pocket, pulled out a half pint bottle of whisky and offered it to the captain. "Take a drink with me, cap’n,” he said, but the captain refused and so did all the others in the room. The soldier was not a bit offended and took a long drink himself, rmacked his lips and put the bottle carefully away. “I’m out for the fun,*’ he said unsteadily, “an’ I’m always with the boys, but I’ve always got respect for everybody. I tried to make the boys pay in the restaurant, but they wouldn’t do it. Do you know, cap'n. we got left at Buffalo and we've been a-travelin’ all the way here for nothin’? Well, It’s the truth. There was four of us got> off Die train at Buffalo to get a drink, and the train pulled out without us all. except the man that had the tickets. Did he get left? ’.Veil, I guess net. He was Johnny on the spot and sailed off with the train. Say, I was In the navy eight years and traveled all over the world, but I never was with a meaner class of men than the men I'm with now." The company in the office broke up and the soldier, after taking amicably a refusal to be allowed to look at his comrades “in the coop.” “just for a gag, won't you cap'n,” he left the station. He was not the kind of a drunk that is dangerous, but was simply enjoying himself. He did not expect to see his regiment again and he did not care.
